Kobe Bryant
I'm really surprised you don't know who he is. His death was the biggest news at the start of 2020.
Oh,I know who he is,but I am not an expert of aphonetic English spellings and had no idea who he could be.
Have a good day!

BokaBB
Also, "Kobe" rhymes with "adobe" instead of "probe".

We've reached the 233rd page XD
In China, we say "233" instead of "L0L" (laughing out loud) or "XD".
Yes. Also 666 means "very impressive" and not devil.
23/3 is also the rulestring of "Conway's Life"

x = 0, y = 0, rule = 23/3

Fun fact:in one of my languages made on vulgarlang.com called /ˈʎœɭɭœχ/ definite word for man (that language encodes particles in affixes) is pronounced /ˈxɨxjɨblʌ/,the indefinite one /ˈxjɨblʌɭøǂ/,definite woman /ˈɓɒʍʉœtɕ/ and the indefinite woman /ˈɓɒʍʉæɽ/.
I challenge you to pronounce that.
Have a good day!

The chemical element Number No. #94 is called "Plutonium", which is a type of metal element.
However, its Chinese name literally means "It is not a type of metal element".
XD

EDIT: Probably the same thing could happen to Number No. #115 (Moscovium)

The Chinese name is 钚, for reference.

Also fun fact: Plutonium is used to name a CA search program. </shameless-advertising>

It is said that tea trees can't be transplanted. A tea tree could only grow from a seed.
The opposite may happen to banana trees.

Here goes my fun fact:
Snow as its base is ice. You can see through ice if it's perfectly smooth and unbroken. So snow, technically small parts of ice, should be see-through too, but they aren't, since they are individual parts of ice. Instead, they reflect most light, hence why they are usually white and blue-ish during the night (+yellow for the street lights), just as broken part of ice do. :)

Have a nice day trying to put snow together and see what it does (aka nothing cuz there will still be too much space between the snowflakes).

The Chinese New Year holiday is great, except for one thing:
It's theoretically impossible to see the moon on the evening of Chinese New Year Eve.

The name of the country "Belarus" literally means "White Russia", hence its Chinese name.
